If HOT water is desired, adjust the thermostat to
the proper temperature and turn burner switch ON.
The burner will light immediately with a small puff
of smoke. You may need to initially adjust your
burner for peak performance. See
Oil Burner
section under
Installation
. If smoke continues,
refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide
in this
manual. When the trigger of the trigger gun is
released or when the thermostat temperature
setting is reached, the burner will automatically
turn off.
IMPORTANT: If ignition or flame failure is experi-
enced, discontinue use of pressure washer at once.
Turn off burner and shut off fuel supply. Have cause
of failure corrected by an authorized service techni-
cian before use of pressure washer is continued.
To Clean
1.
Insert detergent inlet line into container of mixed
detergent. Open detergent ON/OFF valve. The
detergent will be pulled automatically into the
system. Allow detergent to reach end of wand
before proceeding to step 3.
2.
Select pressure nozzle with spray pattern that
matches your cleaning needs. Engage manual
trigger lock and install selected nozzle.
3.
Wash from the bottom to the top, using side to side
motions. This washes away heavy dirt and allows
the detergent to soak as you work toward the top.
4.
Do not wash at a 90° angle to the work (straight at
it. This will allow water to splash back at you and
reduces your cleaning power. Wash at a 30° to 60°
angle to the work. This will allow the water to
splash away from you and the water will wash the
dirt away faster and easier.
5.
Use the width of the spray pattern to wash in a
wide path. Overlap spray paths for complete
coverage. Wash from side to side, using slow,
steady motions.
6.
The nozzle should be 12" to 24" from work, closer
for tough areas. Be careful on painted or delicate
surfaces, the pressure may damage surface if
nozzle is too close.
7.
Small parts should be washed in a basket so the
pressure does not push them away. Larger, light
weight parts should be clamped down so the
pressure does not push them away.
8.
Close the detergent ON/OFF valve to permit rinse.
Always rinse with cold water after using detergents.
Rinse from the top to the bottom to prevent
detergent from dripping onto a rinsed area. For the
best results, contact your Hotsy dealer to help you
select the best detergent for your application.
